What, if any, side effects have been noted with use of the OPTIFAST Program?
Most people using OPTIFAST experience no negative side effects at all. A small number of individuals experience minor and temporary hair loss during the weight loss phase. Like the temporary hair loss that often occurs during pregnancy, this is completely reversible. Some individuals will experience episodes of lightheadedness, which is due to mild dehydration from the very low salt content of the supplement. Small amounts of bouillon easily correct this. In some cases, OPTIFAST can lead to an increase in uric acid levels. Patients with history of gout are monitored carefully so that appropriate treatment can be initiated if needed.
